Phillip says he is the third party.
I think they should have a MMA battle to settle it

So UNC won the most the seats and popular vote but corporations remain 7-7. KPB can actually beat her chest and claim"victory" given she had two of the three metrics and tied on the 3rd. However what should be more unsettling for the UNC is their continued unpopularity in the E/W Corridor. No GE can be won without gains there.

If UNC absorbs Griffith and Phillip they win easily, probably 23 seats I think.

If not, then PNM will likely win due to how the seats are cut up, UNC could probably even get majority vote and still lose.

Basically the queen will not abdicate, despite the loss of grassroots support.

Yea, bro we need Vasant to win the corridor, he could really connect with the youths down there

[death365]

Its not her unpopularity in the E/W -its where are the fr1gg1ng criminals live who love this place just as it is. They are the ones keeping back progress of this country

[pugboy]

so what supposed to happen from an electoral point of one party has such a huge disparity in votes won but still loses overall?

1+1+1 does not equal 3 in politics.
The people who voted for PEP and NTA are not necessarily willing to vote for UNC

[16 cycles]

So now all parties could put forward their FuL proposals for next GE....

Might be breaking records in murder rates till then...

[one eye]

I came back for a few days to exercise my civil rights to vote as a Trinidadian.

Loved the support that PNM has provided for my community over the years and not just the few weeks coming up to elections.

We will win again in 2025!

not 3, but 2.5....enough to beat the pnm

[VexXx Dogg]

PEP and NTA combined simply don't have enough votes to help the UNC win an LGE.
COP was the outlier that the small parties are trying to replicate - but that was an anomaly that won't happen again soon.

Red government is known for stealing elections

Plenty people would have voted pep, but no Candidate.


I give unc the x , cause st least empty d clip, snd is a unc safe seat, so mattered not any way.

But at least contribute to the popular vote

[sMASH]

If Kamala get replaced by a suitable character, we might consider joining.

MP for P/Town as PM

[Les Bain]

Steups. Feels as if Kamla on PNM payroll cause they benefit from her not abdicating her position as UNC's leader.

Wasn't she one of the loudest voices calling for Bas to pack it in and spend quality time with his wife and Dolly?

Aligns with my theory that she’s happy to play opposition until retirement or death. Most of the benefits less of the stress.
